Ben Westwood and Ben Harrison. : Sat Oct 03, 2015 6:14 pm  

Now our two longest serving players currently still at the squad.

Westwood goes into his 14th year for us in 2016 with Harrison going into his 10th year.

What are your views on their contributions to this team over this years?

Westwood's progression has been remarkable. Did anyone thing he would become the best second rower in the league when he joined in 2002? Will go down as a wire legend. Ben Harrison never quite hit his full potential I don't think but I'm a big fan, great work rate and probably our best academy product since Sculthorpe unless I'm missing someone obvious.

...Woody I suppose.

Westwood.....superb from day 1. Shouldn't have had his contract extended since the GF defeat to Wigan
Harrison. Superb early start. Performance levels have plattaued since 2012. Slower than Latchford Locks.

For £60,000 Westwood has been an absolute bargain, and of course it was a great decision to move him from centre to second row. Has a lot of missed tackles and errors this year, he's 2nd in tackles, and 2nd in carries though.

Harrison had an injury hit 2013, but he's played most of the games in 2014 and 2015, you just wish he could run faster to bust tackles, and also help him in defence. I'm shocked that his error count this year is only 13, thought it was a lot higher.

Mike Cooper getting into NRL was a big achievement for him and our Academy.

Ben Harrison will be going under the knife shortly, major knee op . He's been complaining it's been slowing him down .

Er no he wasn't, he was distinctly average at centre and only came into his own when moved to the second row where he has been superb

That explains things, I've felt for a couple of seasons that Ben H is carrying knocks.

Both Bens are class.

Both excellent players. Where are those who a few weeks ago said than Ben H (and Ratch) was leaving? Testimonial due very soon and well deserved.

I think we'll agree to disagree
